One slight correction.  Errai is a Davion world, Mr. Chieftain. :)

God bless the Thug, the Awesome's best friend.

Can't wait to see one of these in Yukari's voice, from Girls und Panzer.

Errai has changed hands several times over the years. However, I was misreading the maps.

It was in Kurita hands after the 1SW and taken by the Davions during 2SW. Not in Capellan hands after 1SW and taken by House Kurita in 2SW.

Or May and Othias from C&Rsenal.  Because I'd kind of like to know what sort of adoption process resulted in that monstrosity and that's more their thing than Ian's.

The Thug is hands-down my favorite 'Mech of all time. It has consistently been the most dependable 'Mech I've ever encountered in almost twenty years of playing Battletech. The THG-12E in particular has long formed the spine of my Blakist formations over the years, and I have many fond memories of multiple Thugs cutting my foes to pieces with grim efficiency.

Also, this is the only appropriate theme music for the Thug.
I like how straightforward this mech is. It has two guns for slug, and 2 launchers for spray. It has all the armor it will need, and moves at a common combat speed.

Huge thug fan (by desktop background is the cover from Reunification War). It stands with the Guillotine among my all time favorite units

Was looking to build a "punch them in the face" lance. Since close combat units are so dependant on good init rolls, I went looking for a command console - and isn't the Jose just perfect for that role.

edit - except for the lack of hands - it's a Thug, just why?

the other mechs are the taurian thud, -6s huchback and recguide spider.
